It's about to be announced that Sarah McLeod will be special guest performer at Kid Mac’s national tour launch at the Standard on June 29.

Sarah features on Kid Mac’s debut album on a track called Don’t Look Back which will be the next single release. They are shooting the video clip on Sunday. When Russell Crowe heard the song he tweeted about it a few times saying it was a total hit..

2 weeks ago Kid Mac won Artist Of The Year and Video Of The Year and the MusicOz Awards held at the Sydney Opera House.

The album No Man’s Land has surprised many with it showcasing his ability to cross musical genres of urban/rock/pop. Squashing the perception that he is purely a hip hop artist.

Here is a video bio he recently made for media to get to know him a little better - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MmdSO7jdzE


KID MAC – NO MAN’S LAND TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT

Kid Mac’s No Man’s Land tour kicks off on June 29 to celebrate the release of Mac’s highly anticipated album released on May 4.

Having just won ARTIST OF THE YEAR and BEST VIDEO at the 2012 MusicOz Awards held at the Sydney Opera House, Mac will take his No Man’s Land Tour around the country – see dates and venue details below.

Kid Mac delivered his first track off the album in April - the super punchy ‘SHE GOES OFF’ featuring US artist Mickey Avalon. She Goes Off has already clocked over 130,000 views on youtube and features cameo’s from Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki and Sarah McLeod. The song is getting airplay on Nova nationally and MTV. It’s just a taste of what’s to come from one of Australia’s emerging talents.

“It's been a long time coming and something I have been working towards for several years. I feel like I've taken my time with it and as a result have found a sound that I am comfortable and proud of. The material in the record is a good representation of me but also something a lot of people will relate to.” Kid Mac

No Man’s Land reviews are starting to pour in with media embracing the album:

Rolling Stone Mag - “Sydney MC impresses on long-awaited debut... The Sydneysider’s gritty, edgy, punk-esque hip hop is not only fraught with pep, but it’s also accessible”.

Rave Magazine: “No Man’s Land is slick and shiny, but most importantly, it’s fresh.”

At the back of an Australian tour with Mickey Avalon, Kid Mac will head off on his headline tour. Details below:

Clover Moore reveals plans to have a MONOPOLY on Sydney - 8th June 2012

Monopoly Sydney Hasbro Games Politics





Sydneysiders will no longer need to “Pass Go” on the streets of London to collect $200 with the announcement today that Sydney city is to be immortalised with its very own official MONOPOLY board.

Not only can Sydneysiders look forward to playing the world’s best loved game on iconic Sydney streets and landmarks, they can also have a say as to what hot properties will make it onto the first ever Sydney MONOPOLY board. Before any dice are rolled the game’s makers will be consulting locals to ascertain which city landmarks should be selected to swap places with the famous London locales.

Sydney’s proudest resident, Lord Mayor Clover Moore became the first to “like” the Sydney MONOPOLY Facebook page when it went live today before giving her thoughts on what she’d like to see on the board.

The Lord Mayor said a global city like Sydney deserved to be immortalised in the world’s most famous game and said, “Sydneysiders are fiercely proud of our great city and its iconic places like the Sydney Opera House and Oxford Street.”

“I’d encourage everyone to have their say about which Sydney streets should replace those famous London names like Fleet Street and Pall Mall.”

“I think our beautiful high streets like King Street in Newtown, Glebe Point Road and Oxford Street should fill these squares. And of course, our plans to transform George Street will make it a globally recognisable landmark that deserves one of the top spots.”

It is not just places but people hoping to score a guernsey on the new MONOPOLY board and to this end, Gary Rohan from Sydney Swans was on hand to receive the good news that his team will be part of the game. He said “In 2012, the Sydney Swans are celebrating 30 years in Sydney as an integral part of this city’s sporting landscape. To be included on this iconic board game and Sydney’s first ever Sydney MONOPOLY is a great privilege for us.”

From today until June 24th MONOPOLY enthusiasts are invited to nominate Sydney properties via the Sydney MONOPOLY Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/sydneymonopoly or by emailing info@winningmoves.com.au. The most popular two places will then be given the prestigious dark blue Mayfair and Park Lane positions on the original London MONOPOLY board. There will also be lots of other twists and changes too, including Sydney themed ‘Community Chest’ and ‘Chance’ playing cards.

Winning Moves, manufacturers of the official MONOPOLY Sydney version, under license from Hasbro, says the game will be on shop shelves in time for this Christmas.

Winning Moves Business Development Manager, Reid Herbert, says, “We are looking forward to receiving input from MONOPOLY fans far and wide so that we can ensure Sydney MONOPOLY is a real reflection of all that we love about Sydney.” He added, “The spirit and shape of this customised edition will remain the same as with the traditional game but now you will be able to buy and own your favourite Sydney landmark for MONOPOLY money.”

MONOPOLY first hit shop shelves in 1935 – and since then has been played by more than 500M people. Today it is played in 111 countries and enjoyed in 43 different languages. The new MONOPOLY: Sydney Edition will be available in November from leading toy retailers across Australia. MONOPOLY © 1935, 2012 Hasbro. All Rights Reserved.
